It’s Britney Spears return day! And just like our favourite twirling pop star who’s been teasing us with new music for a while and has now finally delivered, the AW22 collections we coveted when we saw them go down the runway are now making themselves available for us to purchase (one wait was six years and the other was six months, but you get the point).
